ASTM D6374-22 PDF Download

Using the quartz crucible method, the ASTM D6374-22 standard test method seeks to ascertain the volatile matter in green petroleum coke. The scope of this test technique is that it involves the measurement of the volatile matter evolved during the pyrolysis of petroleum coke under the specified test circumstances.

The standard also states that materials with a volatile matter concentration ranging from around 8% to 16% were included in the interlaboratory investigation for precision. It is important to remember that this test procedure does not apply to samples with a thermal history higher than 600°C.

The guideline also stresses the significance of meticulously adhering to the complete test procedure to guarantee that the outcomes received from various laboratories are consistent. It also makes it clear that this test procedure is not appropriate for figuring out how much de-dusting substance is present.

The standard also contains a section on measurement units that specifies that non-SI units are given in brackets for informational purposes. This guarantees that the test procedure will continue to work with both SI and non-SI unit systems.
